Netflix reverses course, will continue to offer DVDs

Remember Netflix’s plan to split its DVD business into a separate company? You know, the plan that required customers who preferred their movies and TV shows on disc to set up separate accounts with an operation to be called Qwikster?

It is clear that for many of our members two websites would make things more difficult, so we are going to keep Netflix as one place to go for streaming and DVDs.

This means no change: one website, one account, one password… in other words, no Qwikster.

One thing that Netflix isn’t reversing, however, is the price increase that came when the company started charging separately for its DVD and streaming services. But Hastings says in his post that “we are now done with price changes”.
